Music and Laughter: The Gift I Give To You This Christmacus
December 21, 2007 by Dizzy Dezzi · 2 Comments
Last week I talked about how I was skipping Christmas because I really don’t like the stress involved in the preparations.
I really don’t.
But, I think I was being a tad disingenuous (Dusty, you totally owe me a quarter…) because there is one aspect of this holiday season that I really do love.
Nope, it’s not all the goodies I receive from loved ones and friends. Besides, I’m a girl who has “everything”, the only thing that Santa could bring me that would top anything I’ve ever received from friends and relations (or even Santa, himself) is a phat record contract and I don’t see the Jolly Fat Dude coming through on that Christmas wish, anytime soon.
(Although, umm…Santa…if you are listening…I’ll totally do better by my talents than that Pop-Idiot Britney or that other Wine-y Wench…)

I’m up to my neck in gifts and candy canes and gift bags, right now. Every month I give away a limited number of goody bags to the troops and their families that come to my shows. But, I kind of went overboard because of the holiday. When you have an altruistic nature, it’s kind of hard to turn it off when you like seeing people happy. So, I can’t really complain about the amount of work that lays before me because I literally brought it on myself. I desperately want to lie down and take a nap except for one tiny detail, I have holiday goodies strewn all over and so my motivation to finish is sleep.
I mentioned, yesterday, that this is the busy season for me and I swear, one of the many reasons it’s so damned busy is because my phone won’t stop ringing! Add the fact that I am running left and right and my children are driving me crazy (I think I heard one clock the other). I need a vacation that is not forthcoming and the only alternative, besides sleep, is a couple of double vodka crans that are totally in my very near future.
Because I am “thisclose” to a nervous breakdown, I’m going to keep the Round-Up short and sweet, today. Please try to keep up because I won’t be repeating myself until tomorrow. Got that?
Mukasey declares an end to “the Gonzales era”. Oh sure, it likely still be corrupt (*cough*torturetapes*cough*), but it will be “less politicized”. Isn’t that sweet? (Mukasey’s new policy limits political interference at DoJ.)
That media consolidation thing won’t be so bad, if you don’t mind being spoon-fed your news without any pesky distractions from those who disagree with what the lame stream media is presenting as fact. You don’t need to think for yourself. Isn’t that sweet? (Media Consolidation)
Cheney’s playhouse was on fire, yesterday. I think I heard Wexler in his office singing “the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don’t need need impeachment let the mutha#$@& burn! I’m sure he was talking about the building…Isn’t that sweet? (Fire!)
Now, I’ve got it! The fire was started by GWBs pants! He’s told so many lies about Afghanistan and Iraq that you can smell the sulfur before he even opens his mouth. Or is that Cheney? Well, I have heard that the Nether-verse kind of has that smell…What the heck do I know? I’m an atheist, so I can’t possibly believe in Cheney. Isn’t that sweet? (Product of US liberation: Reports document deepening social catastrophe in Afghanistan)
Well, it looks like the Dems pulled a Bush: more tax cuts for the rich (no, I’m not making this up). Of course, the Republicans helped (more like, forced the issue). But, don’t color me surprised…Isn’t that sweet? (Tax Cuts for Christmas!)

Today is gearing up to be a busy one for me. I’ve got appointments that will see me clear to bedtime, in preparation for the holiday weekend. And, in turn, this weekend will kick-off the busiest time of year for my business, with several holiday parties planned straight into the middle of next month. As excited as I am about working, I’m still a realist. Thinking about how busy I’m going to be has got me thinking about how many naps I’ll be able to steal to keep up my energy!
Sure, I’m only 37, but I’m feeling old. It’s hard not to feel like your aging when the rock stars of your youth (who became famous when you were young) are now being honored for changing the face of music. I’m feeling a bit nostalgic because I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard about this hot song, “Holiday,” by some spunky ingenue and how much fun it was to scream and sing along with “a little ditty ’bout Jack and Diane” by some guy who looked really good in jeans strumming on his acoustic guitar. And, now both those stars, Madonna and John (Cougar) Mellencamp are about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
So, here’s your daily musical interlude. Take your pick: Madonna: Holiday and John Mellencamp: Jack & Diane
Being older means working harder to keep the ol’ gray matter from faltering, so let’s get on with today’s Ten Post Random Round-Up Quiz.
1) Speaking of old, John Singleton is bringing “the most famous TV team of the 80s” to the big screen. I can’t help but pity the poor fools who star in the remake of which of these popular 80s shows?
a) The Love Boat
b) The A-Team
c) thirtysomething
2) The FCC just gave Rupert Murdoch an early Christmas present. What did the FCC recently give the man who has everything?
a) Another social networking site a la “MySpace”
b) Another cable channel a la “Faux News”
c) Another chance to take over the lame stream media by allowing him and other moguls to consolidate their media holdings and take over local newspapers, as well as local television stations.
3) Speaking of consolidation, at least the House and Senate passed a law that GWB can’t veto. Why will GWB call in sick rather than sign this legislation?
a) Because the new legislation pulls back the reigns on GWBs penchant for secrecy.
b) Because he’s the Decider and he’s decided not to sign any new legislation.
c) Because he’s the Commander-Guy and he doesn’t sign any legislation unless commanded to.
4) Chris Dodd took time to thank average Joes & Jane’s, yesterday. What was he thanking them for?
a) Sending in tons of Happy Holiday Christmas cards.
b) Supporting him in his stand against retroactive immunity in the new FISA bill (which Harry Reid had to table, for later).
c) The fabulous parting gifts.
5) The subprime mortgage crisis has got a lot of people in its cross-hairs. Alan Greenspan was once hailed as a Svengali when it came to economic matters, particularly in his role as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Why is he on the hot seat, even though he’s no longer Fed chairman?
a) Because of his past ties to author Ayn Rand.
b) Because he didn’t retire and go away, quietly.
c) Because he was warned about the imminent subprime crisis and refused to investigate the past indicators that would have shed light on the current crisis and that have now put the entire world on the verge of economic and financial collapse.
Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

It’s only Tuesday, but this week seems to be dragging on and on.
You see, I have big plans, this weekend. A big date, if you will. What’s that you say, “But, Dizzy, you’re a married woman (gasp)! What will SSG Dizzy think?”
It’s alright, really. I already got my husband’s approval for my big date with Johnny Depp. Sure, Borat will be there and even Professor Snape. But, I have been planning this date for almost a year and nothing but very bad weather will keep me from my endeavor. Only a movie screen will come between me and my love for Johnny. I’ve seen the stage version of “Sweeney Todd”, now I can’t wait to see Depp, all dark and melodramatic in the big screen version of the Stephen Sondheim musical.
*Sigh*
I suppose I will have to commence with the Ten Post Round-Up whilst I wait for the weekend to arrive. Today’s format will be True or False with a strong snark modifier. Let’s sink our teeth in, why don’t we?
1) A House panel on Wednesday is scheduled to examine a woman’s accusations that she was drugged and raped by co-workers at a contracting firm in Iraq two years ago.
a) True
b) False
2) Saudi’s King pardoned the woman who was gang-raped, because it was the right thing to do.
a) Ri-ight!
b) D’oh!
3) Senator Dodd forced Senator Reid to table the FISA bill.
a) Hell, Yeah!
b) What’chu talkin’ ’bout, Dizzy?
4) “Colossal clusterf@&%s ” are the legacy of the Bush administration.
a) That’s news?
b) Dizzy owes Bushliburton an apology…NOT!
5) There is way too much deja vu going on in the Bush administration, especially when it comes to actual and potential criminal activity.
a) Umm…hello? Tell me something I don’t know!
b) You so crazy!
Ten Post Round-Up: Multiple Choice Monday
December 17, 2007 by Dizzy Dezzi · 4 Comments
Be aware, there are about 7 shopping days left before the Jolly Fat Dude arrives. I just wanted to remind those of you who act as Santa’s “authorized agent” to get moving. I just got done with my online holiday list (one thing that each family member “really, really, wanted”). I’ll admit it, I am not a fan of the holiday, but I don’t mind using it as an excuse to go shopping (I’m jus’ sayin’…).
Gettin’ the show on the road and continuing the “multiple choice” meme…
We’ll start off with a tribute to one of my ALL TIME favorite singers, who passed away yesterday: Dan Fogelberg. I will confess that a lot of times when I am humming some tune a lot of the time it’s either “Leader of the Band”“Longer” or his rendition of “Rhythm of The Rain”. This time of year, I find myself humming this gem and when “the snow turned into rain” tears well up each and every time. Sometimes I’ll even break down if I’m alone (Warning: two hanky alert): Dan Fogelberg – Same Old Lang Syne
Man, that video does absolutely nothing for my sinuses and now I’m going to be stuck humming that song for the next two weeks.
Unfortunately, today’s posts are not going to do much for your mood, either. But, much like our butts need a workout, sometimes, so does the ol’ gray matter. So, let’s get crack-a-lackin’!
1) As if one husband wasn’t enough problems for most women, Eunice Lopez decided that she needed more. How many men did 26-year-old Eunice trick into bigamist bliss?
a) Five
b) Ten
c) Two
2) The French are fighting yet another revolution. What revolution would that be?
a) The Freedom Fries Revolution
b) The Pepsi Revolution
c) The Anti-Radar Revolution
3) Have you “Googled” yourself, today?
a) Meh-Beh!
b) Absolutely!
c) GWB knows more about “the Google” than I do.
4) Former UN ambassador, John Bolton is talking smack about Secretary of State Rice. Why is he getting his mustache crimped?
a) Because he’s a big bad meanie.
b) Because he thinks Rice has too much influence on Bush’s (failed) foreign policy.
c) Because he’s playa hatin’.
5) The US recently put a tourist from Iceland in chains and shackles and refused her contact with the outside world, for a couple of days. What was the justification for such extreme actions?
a) Because Iceland is not a member of the “Coalition of the Willing”.
b) Because the tourist was shown to be a potential suicide bomber.
c) Because, 10 years ago, she over-stayed a travel visa.

Skipping Christmas
December 14, 2007 by Dizzy Dezzi · 7 Comments
I declared a war on Christmas about 17 years ago.
Well, not exactly a “war” in the Bill’o sense. But a war in the sense of I had to boycott the “trappings” of the holiday.
Despite being an atheist, I actually love Christmas music. I like seeing the lights and trees. Hey, I even love the sales. What I can’t stand is the stress.
As a kid, Christmas decorating seemed to come off without a hitch, but that was because we had a pre-fab tree and very little decorations. There always seemed to be tons of things under the tree. As a child, I couldn’t know all the trouble that my parents went to to make Christmas so great.
But, as a single mother, I learned just how stressful the holidays could be. The idea of decorating the tree was exciting and even fun, once I got started. The idea of taking it down was daunting. Forget shopping for presents. When you are on a fixed income, it’s difficult to provide a kid with loads of gifts, like what they might see at their friends’ homes or even on television.

I hope ya’ll will forgive me for not posting over the last couple of days. Just trying to prioritize sleep into my busy schedule since I don’t have SSG Dizzy to boss around, these days, and I am in the precarious position of doing everything by myself.
Besides, aside from enjoying my work, I have been enjoying the substantial snowfall. Okay, so I’m not looking forward to sweeping the snow off of the Dizzy-mobile or shoveling the walk. But, I am also not looking forward to a likely drought that will happen if we don’t get a lot more moisture this Winter.
I’d sooner prey on a box of chocolates than pray for snow or rain, but if you must do a rain dance, why not try shaking a tailfeather to this little ditty: Chris Brown–THIS CHRISTMAS

Who Will Join Me In The “Anti-Resolution Revolution”?
December 7, 2007 by Dizzy Dezzi · 4 Comments
So, it’s been a while since we chatted about the fat acceptance thing.
I’ll bet you’re wondering how I’m doin’ with that.
If you aren’t wondering, then this post probably isn’t for you…check out today’s Ten Post Round-Up or proceed to the next post.
As I was saying…
I’m doing great. I have to admit, there were a few days where I thought I would lose faith in myself. I discovered an unopened bottle of weight loss pills, a few weeks ago. Although I haven’t gotten the urge to pop any of those pills, I still have the bottle stashed away. At the time that I discovered it, I decided that I would see what my weight was doing (I was afraid of freaking out if my weight sky-rocketed from lack of dietary substitutes and/or exercise…I have been in a leg cast for more than 2 months, but my ankle was in bad shape for 6 months prior to that).
Well, I haven’t taken a single pill, drank a single diet soda, eaten a single sugar/fat-free perishable, or broken a single sweat (except for some light physical therapy for my upper body arthritis) and my weight has not gone down, but neither has it gone up.
I got rid of all my “skinny” clothes and replaced them with some clothes that compliment my shape and personality (and I might add, they make me look damn good). My last hurdle is finding a great bra and, unfortunately, I will have to get one custom-made for me personally as they do not make the size I really need (according to market standards I’m a 36DD, but that is too loose and 34DD is too snug). Thankfully, as a fat chick, that is my worst problem. My overall health is pretty good and I have no problem getting hit on by either sex and that definitely helps my ego, no matter how fat my jeans make me look.
One dramatic change I have noticed in myself is that I have less tolerance of fat “intolerance”. I have always been annoyed at fat jokes. But, I am finding that I am even more annoyed at my friends who whine about how big their butts are or how their new diet is working out (“this time”).

Still a lot of chatter about Iran and the implications of the NIE and yet, the world still turns and every day life still goes on, as if in denial.
I have work, tonight. As my business is mostly hosting karaoke, one of my main chores is finding music that people want to sing, whether they realize it or not. It’s actually a lot of fun because I come across songs I didn’t realize that I wanted to sing, such as this gem from 1986, from the soundtrack for the movie, Running Scared: Michael McDonald- Sweet Freedom. That ditty was what we used to call, “the jam,” back in the day.
Now on to more depressing things…

For approximately 3 minutes, I had the misfortune of seeing GWB on my television, yesterday (my son turned on the boob tube and there was America’s own personal boob…). I changed the channel almost immediately as I heard a reporter ask him about whether or not the NIE and GWB’s threats to Iran would hurt US credibility in the world community and suddenly I was thinking that Miss Teen South Carolina would make a better president…
So much talk about Iran in the news, I have very little trouble coming up with this particularly annoying attitude adjustment for you, but I couldn’t help myself–A Flock Of Seagulls: I Ran

Whenever something doesn’t go the way GWB wants, his cronies cry “conspiracy”. Imagine, a government agency reports the truth, the news media pick up on it, of course, it’s bad news for TPTB, so of course, it’s a conspiracy to embarrass the president.
